The WBA announced that former three-division titleholder Jorge Linares has tested positive for the coronavirus. The Venezuelan has no symptoms, but doctors recommended a break of at least ten days and then a second test to confirm that he is free of the virus. Linares is scheduled for a fight against Javier Fortuna on August 28th in California, but there is no word yet about what will happen with that fight. The fight is even more difficult to arrange because Linares has been training in Japan and would have to gain permission to enter the United States.
